This refined Trevor Reitsma design, just under 4 years old, sits in an elevated position nestled into Cooloola Hill. An amalgam of concrete, steel, glass and timber has created a contemporary home which is confident yet affords a relaxed lifestyle.

Street appeal is immediately obvious with the simple rolling grass lawn allowing the design elements to take centre stage. The dramatic visual appeal of timber slats, which can be opened to facilitate breezes as well as light, against a black backdrop whets the appetite in anticipation of entry to the interior.

Upon entry the warmth of polished concrete floors greets you, a timber staircase leading upstairs whilst a multi-purpose room with its own bathroom and split system air conditioning and spacious laundry are also located on this level.

Ascend the staircase and the polished yet unpretentious feeling of this home comes to the fore. Soaring ceilings, timber floors, vast expanses of glass which create verdant outlooks from the front and back of the home. The open plan kitchen/living/dining area stimulates your senses and takes your eyes to the outdoor concrete pool and layers of green landscaping which creates a private oasis.

The kitchen is the pulsing heart with timber cabinetry providing a considered combination with the black backdrop, the concrete island benchtop driving a warm yet slightly industrial feel. To the left is the streetscape with natural elevation seeing your line-of-sight drift straight to the canopy, your view filtered by the timber slats tucked behind sliders which open to provide abundant air flow and picturesque sunsets. Another design feature sees these slats open to a forty-five-degree angle allowing further light penetration into the heart of the home.

The sitting area at the rear features what is effectively a floor to ceiling glass wall which reveals the back yard, the grey concrete of the island benchtop replicated with the natural external wall of the pool and concrete courtyard. Black sleeper retaining walls showcase a terraced yard where carefully curated plantings create a hedge-like effect. There is abundant privacy, with a lush patch of lawn the idyllic spot for furry friends to frolic. Overall, this is the perfect spot to entertain in summer, shaded, cool and brilliant indoor/outdoor flow.

The master enjoys ample separation from the remaining two upstairs bedrooms and avails itself of the outlook into the tree line beyond the timber-slatted façade. It is of generous size, private, with walk in robe and ensuite complete with a deep bath to relax in.

The other two bedrooms feature built in robes, share a bathroom with separate powder and have an outlook to the backyard. Louvres provide additional airflow options, supplementing the ducted air conditioning which services the entire upstairs of the home.

Downstairs, the garage has space for two cars and there is a spacious, lock up room which could be a gym or secure storage. Solar panels on the roof keep power bills in check.

Often desired but seldom encountered, 26 Warana Street, Noosa Heads, is a contemporary, stylish home a short walk to Noosa Junction. Easy maintenance gardens, quality and intelligent design make this home a necessity for your Noosa property radar.
